[@AyyAppA_009]

Thanks Amuthan..👍

[@balakrishnansathiyavelu9869]

Superb!!!!

[@dianakoval3252]

Thank you!!

[@thalai143]

Brother Amuthan, Thanks for the Video. Can you please make a video on how to integrate Appium scripts using Emulator with Gitlab CI/CD

[@TestingMiniBytes]

Gitlab CI - The process should be very similar

[@krishanuchakraborty3500]

Thanks for the efforts you are putting in Amuthan!!! One question, can we view the appium test execution like we do when tests run locally on emulators or simulators? Something like we view using Selenoid?

[@TestingMiniBytes]

No we cannot.

[@mahendram7681]

Getting error that Android emulator is old and asking to update the enulator by going to enulator settings and all
What is the solution ??

[@TestingMiniBytes]

While running in github actions?

[@ShoeibShargo]

1. How is your test running in Github Actions without UIAutomator2 installed?
2. If your apk and ipa file size is more than 100 Mb, how to test it with Github actions without using git LFS?
3. in which device is it running the test, you have not specified that in capabilities, why?
Nonetheless, thank you for your effort in making such important videos :)

[@TestingMiniBytes]

I think in the tutorial I used appium 1.21
So you Dont need uiautomator2.
Never worked with apps more than 100 mb. You can keep the app in publically accessible location and fetch using the code otherwise.
By default it launches some emulator but you can pass profile as Nexus /google pixel to define the manufacturer

[@ShoeibShargo]

@@TestingMiniBytes Thank you for replying back brother.

[@satyanarayanpanigrahi3386]

I have the apk file more than 100 mb. I have added it to github repository using git lfs. Will it work for GitHub actions.

[@nandkumarbabar7293]

can you please steps for self hosted runner...?

[@TestingMiniBytes]

hey, you can check github docs. It should be simple

[@mohitshrivastava3523]

Any solution for iOS without virtual cloud ?

[@TestingMiniBytes]

No

Hi Amuthan, Thanks a lot for this great series. I have a question: I tried setting up the Android runner but am stuck with the following error message. It times out after a while because it cannot see the emulator. Can you please help me with this? Here I am sharing my workflow file.
Thank you very much for all your efforts.
